ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
Thre Is erarrrly any point In the
economy of national an airs of greater
moment than the uniform preserva
tion of the Intrinsic value of the monry
unit. On this the security and steady
value of pnMTty essentlully depends.
Gold may. perhaps, In certain senses,
1m said to have a greater stability than
silver, aa, being of superior value, less
llbertli'S have been taken with It In
the regulations with different countries.
Its standard has remained more uni
form, and It has In other respects un
dergone fewer change, as. being not
o much an article of merchandise,
owing to the use made of silver In the
trsde with the Kaat Indies and China,
It la less liable to be Influenced by cir
cumstances of commercial demand.
There can hardly be a better rule In
any country for the legal than for the
market roHirtlon. The presumption
In such rase la that each metal finds
Its true level arordlng to Its Intrinsic
utility In the general system of money
opeiatlons. As , long as gold, either
from Its Intrinsic superiority as a
metal, from Its rarity, or from the pre
judices of mankind, retains So consider
able a pre-eminence In value over silver
as It has hitherto had, a natural con
sequence of this seems to he that Its
condition will Iw more stationary. The
revolutions, then-fore, which may take
place In the comparative vulue of gold
and silver rtvlll be rhunges In the state
of the latter, rather thnn In that of the
forijier.
THOMAS JKKKKKSON.
The real rndlt of the Vnlted Plates

PRESIDENT MADISON.
It Is essential that the nation should
possess a currency of equal value, cred
it and use wherever It may circulate.
THOMAS H. ItENTON.
SH'Bklng of gold In ls:tt, re said: It
has an Intrinsic value, which gives it
currency all over the world to tho full
amount of that value without regard to
law or circumstances.
It has a uniformity of "value, which
makes It the safest standard of value

has ever yet discovered.
Itg portability, which makes It easy
for the traveler to carry it about with
him.
Its liulestnii'taMllly, which makes t

Its superiority over ull other money,
which gives to Its possessor the choice

DANIEL WEHSTEIt (1S37).
He who tampers with the currency
robs labor of Its bread. He panders
Indeed to greedy capital, w hich Is keen
sighted and may shift for Itself, but
he beggars labor, which Is honest, un
suspecting, and too busy with the pres
ent to calculate for the future. The
prosperity of the working classes lives,
moves and has Its being In established
credit and a steady medium of pay
ment. All sudden changes destroy It.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN (1840).
An unstable currency, producing In
stability In business and prices. Is pe
culiarly Injurious to the farmer. Nei
ther his education nor his disposition
accustoms him to watch the barome

HORATIO SEYMOUR (1864).
These foreign creditors of ours are
strangers, who lend us their money
when we want It upon no security but
our word of honor. If we do not pay

letter of our bargain we incur a shame
that can never be removed from us.
PRESIDENT GRANT.
Second Inaugural address, March 4,
1873:
My efforts for the future will be di
rected to the restoration of our cur
rency to a nxed value as compared
with the world's standard of value,

Message to congress, 1874:
These two causes have involved us In

which should be paid In coin, and a:
cording to the bond agreed upon when
the debt was contracted gold or Its
equivalent. The good faith of the gov-
erntriwiit cannot be violated toward
creditors without national disgrace.
1IENJAMIN H. HltlSTOW.
Hecretary of the Treasury. 1S75:
When It (the government) has a cur
rency of fixed and stable value, having
a known relation to that of other pow
ers, and furnishing a uniform medium
of exchange, the volume may and
should be left to be determined by the
wants of trade and business. Natural
caus-fl, aided by Individual effort and
enterprise, will regulate the volume of
currency far more wisely and with
greater safety to business than act
of congremt Imposing artificial limits,
subject to Increase or diminution at
every session.
LOT M. MORRILL,
Seerrury of the Treasury, 1876.
It Is respectfully lubmltted that the
coin payment to which the faith of the
nation was pledged In lk69 was gold and
not silver, htid that any other view of
It, whatever technical construction the
language may be susceptible of, would
be regarded as of doubtful good faith
and Its probable effect prejudicial to
the public credit."
PRESIDENT HAYES.
Message to Congress, 1877.
All the bonds that have been Issued
sines February 12, 1871. when gold be
came the only unlimited legal tender
metallic currency of the country, are
Justly payable In gold coin or In coin
of equal value.
ARCHBI8HOP IRELAND.
I am absolutely convinced that the la
boring classes will suffer the most of
all from free silver coinage
The question of free and unlimited
coinage of silver Is put In the fore
ground. The question has Its Import
ance; but It Is of a minor Importance
In the presence of other questions which
are brought Into Issue. The movement
which had it expression In the Chicsgo
convention, and which now seeks by
mean of popular suffrage to enthrone
Itself in the capltol of the nation. Is In
its logical effect against the United
Rates; It is secession; the secession of
11. which our soldiers believed they
had consigned to eternal death at Ap
pomattox, but which demands again
recognition from the American people.
HISHOP SEYMOUR.
If the government puts a flctltkius
value upon the coin which It Issues
then It utters. In the name of the na
tion, a falsehood, und some one In the
end must be cheated, and this hard
ship, for the most part, falls upon the
poor, because they are less able to pro
tect themselves. . . . The present
presidential conflict Involves the essen
tial character of our national supreme
court. It is proposed to Invade the
sanctity, I may call It, of that august
tribunal, and bring It within the arena
of party politics, so that the dominant
faction will have the control of It, as
well as all other departments of the
government legislative, executive and
Judicial. This blow, aimed at our high
est court, is far reaching In Us conse-
luences. and, If successful, will strike
town the greatest conservative defense
which our constitution provides against
hasty and faulty legislation. and the ap
proach of anarchy.
This proposal Is almost as bad as aim
ing a bullet nt the flag of our country.
THOMAS B. REED.

The time was when a debt used to

You niuy not be able to dally with sta
tistics, but you understand that simple
proposition.
JAMES Q. BLAINE.
If we coin a silver dollar of full legal
tender, obviously below the value of
the gold dollar, we are opening wide
our doors and Inviting Europe to take
our gold. With our gold flowing out
from us, we shall be forced to the single
sliver standard, and our relations with
the leading commercial countries of the
world will be not only be embarrassed
but crippled.
